This is a promise in the divine revelation for the 'righteous', who are expected to be the driving force in reaching this goal. Attaining this rank, however, requires that they be ordained with certain qualifications and virtues as once manifested to the highest degree in Islamic civilisation. In this book, Gülen reminds us of these virtues and shows the path that those lofty souls have followed in the past, leaving behind exceptional models., Gulen echoes the great teacher Rumi by telling is not to ignore the doctrine of causes, not to sit around heedlessly waiting for God's favor, but rather to continously exert ourselves in order to transform this broken world into a world of peace and justice, in accordance with the Will of God.
